For the Heart I Once Had

Heaven today is but a way

To a place I once called home

Heart of a child, one final sigh

As another love goes cold

Once my heart beat to the rhythm of the falling snow

Blackened below

The river now flows

A stream of molten virgin snow

For the heart I'll never have

For the child, forever gone

The music flows

Because it longs

For the heart I once had

Living today without a way

To understand the weight of the world

Faded and torn

Old and forlorn

My weak and hoping heart

For the child

For the light

For the heart I once had

I believe and foresee

Everything I could ever be

For the heart I'll never have

For the child, forever gone

The music flows

Because it longs

For the heart I once had

Time will not heal

A dead boy's scars

Time will kill

For the heart I'll never have

For the child, forever gone

The music flows

Because it longs

For the heart I once had
